Huet to Chicago

posted by Mike Boone at 15h54 EST on Jul 1

Four years, $5.625 million per.

So will they move Khabibulin?I can't see the Blackhawks tying up nearly $12 million in two galtenders.

Other signings: Cory Stillman to Florida, three years, $10.6 million; Eric Godard to Pittsburgh (will they drop Georges Laraque?), Adam Hall to Tampa Bay, three year, $1.8 millio, Darcy Tucker to Colorad, two years, $4.5 million ( he can hang with Andrew Raycroft, who also signed with the Avalanche).

One good rumour I've read, is that Tampa Bay wants Khabibulin back, and are willing to trade Dan Wilson to Chicago to get him. Given the current new owners/part-time managers, that moves makes some sense.

Good for Huet and his payday...The leafs wont be that bad...

Huet's a good goalie, good for him. After reading all the crap on here about him, it shows he's worth more than quite a few people thought.

not sure he's worth $22m over 4 years though, yikes!!!

Yay! Cristobal to Chicago! I really like Huet and I love watching what's happening in Chicago with all their young players. the Bhulin Wall is overpayed, I think Huet is a better goalie. Go Huet Go Blackhawks! Nice to see the Original Six teams being competitive (cough Leafs cough).

Too bad it was in the 1st round as opposed to the 2nd ;)

He would have seen the 2nd round if the Refs didn't miss the call on goalie interfence.

Tampa Bay signs UFA goaltender Oleg Kolzig to a 1 year deal worth $1.5-million (plus bonuses).

For everyone "concerned" by Montreal's lack of activity.....Nolan Baumgartner is still available!!.
(At least Montreal didn't get "The Finger" like Toronto did.

Laraque would look good in Montreal.

Huet striking gold... very impressed. I'd put him at 4.5M per.
